There are a number of explanations as to
why this dish is called 'Watergate Salad Dessert', but according
to Kraft Kitchens, when the recipe for Pistachio Pineapple Delight
Salad was sent out, a Chicago food editor renamed it Watergate
Salad to promote interest in the recipe when she printed it in
her column.
